  Im definitely wrong, but since I really dont know anything in mabi to in-depth, Ill just throw my first guess away with this guess....While I was reading it all I could think of was Metus...Why? Cause of this "Best not to fall, for it's a long walk back." Cause I was with my guild, and I died, and had to go to fillia and ride my mount back....Lol.
  
  edit: Oh right Ghouls....

  Abandon all hope, ye who enter here,
  The separated guardian of hell is not at all sincere.
  Even so, you lucky Milletians have nothing to fear!
  For the third gaze of death shall not affect you here."

  
  Hmmm i might be over analyzing but because of this paragraph (stanza watev >.>) i had allways thought it was from the point of view of the Milletians... but it could be from the point of view of a fomor, but in the highlighted part he is talking to the 3 Milletians hmmm

  The part you quoted was my part. I'll be more than happy to tell you the significance behind it.
  I inserted many references to the subject *tee hee*
  
  Also, I never said you failed, I just said that I really enjoyed your analyzation of any other possible dungeon and the symbolic meaning behind the words XD

  I know math has spiders... but...
  What other dungeon spawns 3 creatures which belong in hell?
  And Math has such long corridors...
  
  And of course Milletians have nothing to fear, anywhere, because they can't die for real ^^;
• Chockeh wrote on 2010-07-31 00:44
  I do hope that its Math, :D!
  But the 3 Imps in Fiodh are the boss...
  And Imps looks like devils?
  Can somewhat relate.

  Wait, I might be really not getting this, but where does it say the three are from hell?

  "And stand at the lock of the final door
  You'll still have to get past three"

  I don't really think of imps as guardians from hell~ Just like tricksters on the surface.
  
  

  And stand at the lock of the final door
  You'll still have to get past three
  From another world set free
  ...Solemn guardians, poised to attack.
  ...The separated guardian of hell is not at all sincere.

  That means boss room.
  So a dungeon.

  Looking back at my original post, I can see why you came to that conclusion of failure.
  But again, that's not what I intended D:
  I said it in a neutral tone because the contest is still going, so I don't want to give any hints away.
  
  Now, for the whole imps not from hell. I took this from the Wikipedia article. (Yes, I know such a credible source. Hush)
  
  "An imp is a mythological being similar to a fairy or demon, frequently described in folklore and superstition. The word may perhaps derive from the term ympe, used to denote a young grafted tree.
  
  Imps are considered "fallen fairies" and are often described as mischievous more than seriously threatening, and as lesser beings rather than more important supernatural beings. The attendants of the devil are sometimes described as imps. They are usually described as lively and having small stature."
  
  There you have it :lol:
• Chockeh wrote on 2010-07-31 01:53
  So I got my 2 guesses, do I have to pick one of them, or if one answer is right, its okay?
• Rue wrote on 2010-07-31 01:58
  [FONT="Arial Narrow"][SIZE="3"]There's no first choice, second choice,
  if you got the answer correct in either of them,
  we'll count it.
  But it's first come first serve, so say you guessed the same thing as someone else,
  but they posted before you - then they would get the prize.
  
  As for the controversy about Imps, examine the riddle closely. [/SIZE][/FONT]

  I never assumed imps were from hell XD i actually didn't really take that line into consideration... i guess luck does play a part in these riddles...
